Professional Mice Control Services
Best Money Saving Mice Control Services for Residential Properties & Commercial Properties
Mice can be resilient. They find a place to get inside your home or business in the fall or winter. They reproduce and leave disease and illness causing bacteria all over your property.
If you have mice, you can try setting traps or laying poisons yourself, though we would recommend at least consulting a pest control company for advice first. We even created our Complete Mouse Control Guide, which has our infographic of simplified information.
But getting rid of mice can be a lot of work and trial and error for the home owner or property manager. If you are in need of a mouse service, give us a call. We’d love to perform your mouse extermination service. 651-342-9489.
Why Professional Mice Control Services Are Important
Mice are prevalent pests in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Studies show Minnesota among top states with mouse issues, and rightly so with the cold winter temps, mice are frequent invaders. If you have a simple rambler home with no low to the ground decks, you could perform your own mouse services, and we’ll tell you how below. But if you have decks, patios, an older home, a limestone foundation, etc. chances are professional mice control services are going to be vital for the success of the treatment of your home.
Professional mice control services are among the most commonly purchased pest control services at pest control companies. Why not entrust the safety and security of your home with professional mice control services from Done Right Pest Solutions today? Call now: 651-342-9489.
How mice get in your home
If you’ve ever wondered, “how do you get rid of mice?” you’ve probably also wondered, “how the heck did these mice get in?” These pests typically get into your home or business through the foundation somewhere. A mouse can squeeze through any crack that is a 1/4-inch in diameter. That is the size of the tip of an eraser!
Thorough inspection of your home’s or business’ foundation is crucial to mouse extermination! A steel wool or copper mesh may be placed in small cracks and crevices. For any other openings, a caulk or foam, or maybe even cement would be needed from a contractor.
If your home has an attached garage, porch, deck, or patio, you should check these areas. If your home has had any additions, we would recommend checking the foundation near these points as well. And finally, check near anything sticking out from your house, like vents, cable lines etc.
Here is a bullet point list to remember:
- laundry vent
- air-conditioning line
- around decks, patios
- under decks, porches
- along garage foundations
Helpful tips regarding mouse control
If you don’t know whether or not you have mice, that doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have mice. Pests often go unnoticed for quite some time so it is important to know the warning signs of mice.
Mice hang out in the least active area of your home: think furnace rooms, crawl spaces, attics, laundry rooms. They shy away from living rooms and kitchens for the most part, but may venture into these areas in search of food at any time of the day or night, though mostly at night.

Our Mice Extermination Process
Our mouse extermination process is pretty traditional, but we have a simple one-time charge and that comes with everything: the first service, any follow-ups, and the 3-month warranty that starts the date of first service.
Some companies will offer a low cost, but they will charge per service, for all of the follow-ups, which can certainly add up. Quite a few companies will simply put out some exterior bait stations and interior bait stations, and then just refill them at the follow-up, but they don’t do exclusion. Some companies will charge over $1,000 for the exclusion portion of the mouse service, because they know that solves the issues, but they may rather simply offer a $150 quarterly service to “manage” the mice.
A lot of companies will offer an exclusion portion of the mice extermination process. We strive to be thorough in our initial inspection and identification, effective in our treatment and extermination, and the best in prevention and follow-up measures.
Check it out below.
Initial Inspection & Identification
Every mouse service starts with a thorough initial inspection to determine that you have a mice issue. Most of the time, people can tell when they have mice due to droppings found in locations around the home. But sometimes people just hear scratching in the walls or pitter-patter in the ceiling, or scratching in the attic.
Sometimes people have a squirrel issue and not mice issues. But most of the time in Minnesota and Wisconsin, people have mice issues. So once they are identified, we can start treating.
In rare cases, sometimes we need to place some bait and follow-up to see if the bait has been taken. If the bait has been taken, it’s a mouse issue. If it’s a squirrel issue, squirrels would not be able to get in the small rodent bait stations. Squirrels also typically nest in attics alone, so the tech would typically be able to determine the issue was squirrels based on the activity found in the attic.
Check out our details about our effective treatment and extermination service.
Effective Treatment & Extermination
Our one-time mouse service includes the full inspection as described above, and then the first treatment, follow-up(s), and warranty.
At the first service, the technician would perform the exclusion process, which involves going around the foundation, closing up rodent entry points. From there, the technician would place rodent bait stations around the sill-plate level of the home, and other places if needed if the home owner has seen the mice elsewhere.
Then, a 2-week follow-up is necessary. So you need to know that your mouse issue is not going to get solved in one day, but rather in a matter of weeks. Sometimes simply 2 weeks, sometimes more. There are factors to consider. For example, if you have had mice for months, it will not get solved in days. But the follow-up(s) are vital to the success of the treatment.
Prevention & Follow-up Measures
Our one-time mouse service comes with at least one follow-up, and a 3-month warranty. At the follow-up services, the technician checks inside the bait stations, replaces the bait, maybe relocates the stations, maybe double checks the foundation to ensure he or she got all of the entry points closed.
Finally, it’s important to note that not every mouse issue can be solved. We strive to solve mouse issues; we really do. But we have some historic homes in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area. If your home has a limestone foundation, we would automatically recommend our year-round service plan to you, because limestone is a softer material that can be impossible to keep the mice out. Mice can more easily create entry points over time on limestone foundations.
Or if you ever have more than one pest problem per year, or you simply want year-round mouse control services and prevention, we would suggest reading up or asking about our Peak Seasons Plan. This is an annual pest prevention plan that is a one-time fee for a year of service! No hidden trip fees or anything. We even wrote a helpful article with FAQs regarding the service, check it out: How to Know if the Peak Seasons Plan is for You.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mice Control
When it comes to mice control services, or pest control in general, for your home, chances are you’ll have some questions. We pooled some of the most frequently asked questions, both on the web and what we receive over the phone. Check out these top 10 frequently asked questions.
Our technicians first close up entry points around the outside of the home, and then place a commercial-grade quality bait stations on the inside of the home.
Yes, we only use EPA- and FDA-approved and certified safe for commercial use. The bait we use has the lowest possible to no secondary transfer risk, for secondary predators. And the bait we place is in a secured station so no pets or kids can get into them.
We do not offer any live- or kill-trapping methods for mice. We do offer a 1x Exclusion Only service for folks who want to snap trap or live trap on their own. If this is something you’re interested in, please let us know!
Nothing. We don’t require any sort of prep for any of our services!
But, if you have an attached garage and have some storage along that shared wall, we often recommend moving some of those items so the tech can inspect along that shared wall for any rodent entry points.
We wrote the guide on the 10 things to expect from your pest exterminators, but in regards to your mouse control service, expectations should be the same. You’ll receive a full inspection, service, follow-up, and warranty.
The short answer is: it varies. The long answer is: if you just noticed mice, we should be able to exterminate in 2 weeks or less; if you have had mice for months or years, we should be able to exterminate in 2-6 weeks, or longer. Each home is different, each mouse service is different, so there are many factors to consider.
Our mouse services differ in cost based on property type, property size, etc. So a 1,000 square foot twin home on a slab would cost differently than a 3,000 square foot duplex or a 6,000 square foot single family home. Prices vary, so for an exact quote call today: 651-342-9489!
Yes and no. Yes, we have folks we service for mice once per year, once every other year, and once every few years. No, we also have folks who have old homes with limestone foundations, where the mouse issues can only be resolved with foundation remediation. So in this case we recommend our annual service program with a 12-month warranty.
Yes, all of our services have a warranty! All except our Exclusion Only Service, which is a fraction of our mouse service. Our one-time mouse service has a 3-month warranty.
We have not had a mouse issue we couldn’t resolve! As we mentioned above, we have had homes with limestone foundation issues that we have needed to have a more comprehensive, year-round service, however. But for your average single home, we can resolve mouse issues fairly quickly and easily.
